Know these things before buying gold

The standard prices of gold and silver in India are issued by the India Bullion and Jewelers Association (IBJA). However, new rates are not released on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays declared by the Central Government.

IBJA rates do not include GST and making charges, hence the final price may vary in different cities and jewelery showrooms.

​While buying gold, always check BIS Hallmark and HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) code.

The hallmark mark consists of the BIS logo (the official symbol of the Bureau of Indian Standards), carat/purity, HUID number (a unique alpha-numeric code) and center mark (lab testing mark).

How to identify purity according to carat?

​999 is written on 24 carat (99.9% pure). It is the purest, but does not make jewelry because it is too soft.

​916 is written on 22 carat (91.6% pure). It is most popular for making jewelry. 8.4% copper or silver or other metals are added to it, so that the jewelery remains strong.

833 (83.3% purity) is written on 20 carat gold. 16.7% other metals (like copper, silver, zinc) are added to it.

750 is written on 18 carat (75.0% pure). It is often used in jewelry with diamonds or precious stones.

​Most shopkeepers sell only 18, 20 and 22 carat gold. When making a purchase, make sure that the number of carat you are paying for is the same number (like 916 or 750) mentioned on the jewelry.

Note- The gold and silver rates given above are indicative and do not include other charges like GST, TCS and making charges. Contact your local jeweler or jewelers shop for exact rates.
